Wadahan had always wanted to give himself a chance to display his talents, so he also felt that he was not appreciated for his talents. However, after he really became the king, he realized how difficult it was to govern a country.
Although many people died in this catastrophe, the framework of the court still existed. If it was maintained well, these people could still help him govern. But if these old officials left, relying on those young people who knew nothing, how would he govern the country...
"Your Highness, please have some tea."
When Wadahan was about to keep these people, Xiao Shougui came over to him with a cup of tea. According to the latest appointment, Xiao Shougui came to Wadahan's side and served as Wadahan's counselor, which is now called a personal assistant.
At first, Wadahan didn't take this seemingly gentle young man seriously. He always felt that this guy didn't have much social experience, and it was simply wishful thinking to expect him to look at him.
But after spending half a month together, he realized how powerful this young man was. For example, in the incident just now, he was about to speak up to stop these old ministers, but he didn't expect Xiao Shougui to hand him the teacup.
Did he really ask you to drink tea?
It was very clear what Wadahan wanted, which was to let these old officials leave the court. If these people stayed, they would inevitably bring some conservative forces with them. It might not be possible for the Tang Dynasty to completely take over Gaochang. But if these people left, the Tang Dynasty would choose some new officials to come in. These people had received favors from the Tang Dynasty and would naturally follow the Tang Dynasty's lead.
Originally, Xiao Shougui was still having a headache about how to arrange those new officials, but he didn't expect such a scene to happen today. Since you are willing to leave, it's better to leave quickly and don't delay our business. How could he allow Wadahan to keep them?
"But this..."
When Wadahan was about to speak, Xiao Shougui shook his head gently. Wadahan picked up the teacup helplessly and drank it all.
What's the point of being a king? He's like a puppet, and whatever others say goes. If these old ministers are gone, even if Wadahan wants to implement any measures in the future, I'm afraid there will be no one to help him.
This is exactly what Xiao Shougui wanted. He saw it the first day they met. Wadahan would never yield to anyone. The reason why he listened to us now was purely because his wings were not strong enough. If his wings were strong enough, who knows what would happen to me. Therefore, Xiao Shougui was extremely vigilant and would never give Wadahan a chance to rise.
Some people really wanted to resign, so they walked away without stopping, but they were a little sad in their hearts. But some people were just pretending, thinking that His Majesty the King would stop them, but they didn't expect that when they had already walked out of the hall, His Majesty the King didn't say a word.
No matter what they think in their hearts, from this moment on, all the ministers of Gaochang have been replaced. Some died in the catastrophe, and some have resigned now. The selection of new ministers will begin soon. It depends on your relationship with the Tang Dynasty.
"Send this list to the army. They are very dissatisfied with our military orders. General Su, please pay attention to this."
After everyone had left, Xiao Shougui's roster was also written. These were all the people who had just spoken rudely. They had deep influence in the army. When the military personnel were arranged next, these people would definitely be eliminated. No matter what your reasons were, as long as you were hostile to our Tang Dynasty, no one would be able to stay in the army.
A soldier next to him bowed, then rode a fast horse towards the military camp. Xiao Shougui was next to Wadahan, and Su Dingfang was stationed in the royal city. The two of them, one civil and one military, controlled the royal city of Gaochang. Controlling the royal city of Gaochang was equivalent to controlling the entire Gaochang. After all, it had more than 40% of the country's population and economy.
Although Gaochang has a vast territory, more than 90% of the land is not populated, and there are only a few key locations where people live. Therefore, although Li Xiang has few subordinates, he has no problem controlling the entire Gaochang.
Looking at the cavalrymen going away, Wadahan felt heartbroken. If they wanted to rebel against the Tang Dynasty in the future, those people who had just spoken would be the vanguard. If they were expelled from the army now, it would mean that they would lose their power in society. Their former enemies would also come to deal with them. By the time Wadahan wanted to find them again, not even a hair would be left of them.
"Your Highness, do you think my handling of the matter is appropriate?"
As for killing people and destroying their hearts, there is nothing more cruel than what Xiao Shougui said. He wants to dismember all your subordinates and still ask you to praise him for doing a good job.
Of course, Xiao Shougui was not seeking excitement, but wanted to undermine Wadahan's rebellious consciousness from the bottom of his heart. Since the two began to get along, Wadahan has always been wearing a mask. He used to sincerely surrender to the Tang Dynasty, but after becoming the king, his ambition began to skyrocket.
What Xiao Shougui needs to do is to remind Wadahan several times every day to let him know what kind of environment he is in and what he should do. If he violates them, the Tang Dynasty will probably have punishment measures. Can you bear it then?
"Sir, your approach is absolutely correct. We are currently in a state of extreme shock. Kicking these people out of the army will also be very stable for the army. I feel a little unwell today, so I will go back and rest first."
Wadahan didn't want to deal with Xiao Shougui anymore. Whenever he saw this young man, he felt like his heart was on fire. If he had to face this person for a long time, Wadahan was afraid that if he punched him, it would not be an ordinary incident and he himself might be crippled.
"Your Highness, since you are tired, I will take my leave now. However, we have brought some toys for you from the East. Please enjoy them after you return to the harem and don't let yourself relax."
After saying this, Wadahan clapped his hands, and two graceful women walked in from the door. Both of them were from Fuso.
The women in the Gobi Desert have rough skin, while the people in Fusang have more delicate skin, so people here pursue delicate skin, which can be regarded as a gift to Wadahan.
